Things like this have happened many times. The stronger team entered the match too arrogantly, euphoria was created that they would humiliate the opponent and they believed in such hype. Then it happens that the outsider consolidates and plays perfectly. It shouldn't even be a big surprise if the underdog is Man. United.
They ^{Man. U} have had too many similar upheavals in history for this much underestimation to be justified. I'm glad that all half-educated analysts can now just eat their words.

Same thing happened to Bayer this week, too much expectations and they delivered one of the worse game this season to an underdog Atalanta. All analysis and hyping, being bookies favorites and all that didn't result to anything.

I didn't expect Manuted to even score a goal. Expected more from this City team.

Bold for you to think the Government will not go after the telegram M.A in-app p2p except it's kept hidden and the trade volume is extremely low. It's still a Centralized exchange and telegram can easily take it down. The wallet is not affiliated to telegram, it's a third party app.

Exactly, this was the same thought that came into my mind as I was reading the replies. Government are sick and so mean that they can also go for the telegram p2p to get it down, but before they will know, we go don enjoy am small, so that as we dey enjoy am, another p2p trade fit come out again from one place. God pass government.

The exchanges are doing their best not to give up so quickly; yet, they are also aggravating the government and delaying the process. If they made things any easier for them, they'd come back tomorrow and demand something different. It has been over three weeks since OKX Naira p2p was blocked, and the same message was issued to Bybit, but they have yet to disable their marketplace. Nobody wants to lose Nigeria's trade volume. These exchanges are not happy with the whole situation as well.

It is true that we do have full right over our own activities, engagements and lots more. As it is, gambling is something fun to do which is why most gamblers always gamble often but however, excesses is very bad and that is what we should be able to control because when we do something excessively, it turns out to be addiction which means we are addicted to that particular thing we do irrespective of what we stand to loose as a result of our addiction or excessive engagement of it.

Having full control over our activities doesn't mean we should exhibit lifestyle that would affect individuals around us or even the society. It is believed that a person of 18years can shoulder a lot of things including gambling related crisis. But then, I am of the opinion that individual who have displayed irrational character in course of gambling should be placed on ban to deter others from acting alike. If possible, persons with high blood pressure should be prevented from gambling because gambling can cause emotional disorder and that can be a double jeopardy for persons with trace of high blood pressure.

For instance as a gambler, it is good we plan our gambling routine so as not to be carried away by it. Doing such would put us up in the right track or budgeting for our gambling routine which makes it more conducive and convenient for us. This alone would put us in the check so we do not gamble excess.

I agree gambling with a plan is important in the life of every gambler regardless of why you gambling. When we set budget, we don't loss more than required in a particular gambling section and also we don't throw away our winnings by continuous gambling. Which ever ways, setting a budget is indispensable as a gambler with discipline.

Very well said, people are the problem. Many do not want to take personal responsibility and instead hope the government will intervene, for example by closing casinos. But the problem is not really theirs.

I agree with your submission. Gambling has no problem or negative connotation in itself. The negativity associated with gambling is as a result of how some people gamble. Most gamblers gamble with greed and some believe that gambling will help them escape poverty. This kind of mindset is the reason people gamble uncontrollably and then run into the web of problem gambling.

If people can gamble moderately without 100% dependance on gambling for earns meet then soonest people will understand that gambling is not a problem but the individual. For instance, can we say car is bad because some persons have accident due to reckless driving? We often preach against reckless driving and not against the purchase of a car. This is similar to gambling.

If you have been losing consistently in gambling, then maybe you should take a break if the losses have started affecting your emotions.

Personal experience reveals that taking a break is an effective strategy to guide against irreparable loss and also to protect emotions. Naturally, no gambler is happy when he is having a series of bad run and so becomes distracted and irrational in making decisions since his decisions will be made out of emotions rather than calculation.

When a gambler is in such a state, the best strategy at that moment is to take a pause so that he can be able to think right in his next gambling section. When a gambler refuses to take a break, he will lose more because his mind will be directed towards recouping his loss and in the long run he will lose everything in a bid to regain everything.

I also don't know whether they underestimated Atalanta or what, but I think Xabi would not be so stupid as to underestimate his opponent, especially since it was a final match which we know is very important for them.

The players got carried away, had a large party after winning the league and were all looking fragile, no disrespect to Xabi but he was tactical outclassed in that game both defensively and offensively, they lost every duels and wasn't tracking back enough. Atalanta deserves that one.

The Nigerian-born striker "Lookman" made Nigeria proud and he has been on the news both internationally and locally. I am hoping that he's going to win the Africa Best Player of the Year, because of his fantastic performance in scoring three beautiful goals that won Atalanta their first-ever Europa League trophy

He is in contention, but keep in mind that this is AFCON year, and his AFCON performance will take precedence over his club performance. Did any AFCON-winning players earn trophies for their clubs? I don't keep up with Ivory Coast players, thus I don't have statistics.

A coach who will be winning trophies is the sole aim of Chelsea owners, that's why they changed Pochettino to be head of the Chelsea team because, to them, he can't get that(any trophy) for the Chelsea team no matter how long he stays as Chelsea coach.

Someone says to me, that Chelsea management is on the lookout for a coach who will contest for the PL trophy with Pep Guardiola and Arteta, not someone who will battle with below-top positions

If the owners really care about trophies they would have sacked him since September last year when the team had one of the worse run or when he lost the League cup final against random Liverpool kids so it's not really making sense to think he got sacked for not winning. The owners were okay with him, his objective was to make the team compete and to qualify the team to European league football which he accomplished. The sacking is an internal matter not related to performance.

Has anyone used Telegram P2P? I checked it out, but the volume is quite low; there are no Sell ads, only Buy ads, and the entire thing appears sneaky. I'm not urging anyone to attempt it.

Even if I later get to try out the P2P on Telegram, I would not want to be among the first people to use it because I know that the rate of scams will be high. I believe that they will try to improve their services; that is, it will later work properly when people start moving there. And that will only happen when the government has succeeded in blocking all the other exchanges still functioning for exchange to NGN and Telegram becomes one of the few options left.

Bold for you to think the Government will not go after the telegram M.A in-app p2p except it's kept hidden and the trade volume is extremely low. It's still a Centralized exchange and telegram can easily take it down. The wallet is not affiliated to telegram, it's a third party app.
